With the pre-order costumes being revealed, I'm seeing enough "Chung-Li" on places like Facebook to make me kick puppies.

Gardevoir and Dusknoir

So many people pronounce it without the i. It's bizarre how much this has continued, it even sometimes happens on the official VGC streams now. I maybe understand for Gardevoir since the meaning may not be known, but Dusknoir?

I thought Ryu was pronounced "Rye-you" and then I learned it was "Ree-you." Still kind of hard to adjust to that change.

Outside of Ryu (which does look like Rye-YOO), I don't understand how anyone can pronounce most of these wrong. Do people not know how to break words up for pronouncing?

And I just thought of a story: My friend thought Blizzard was Blizz-ZARD for years. Wtf.

Funnily enough, most people from my (mexican) town knowingly pronounce "Halo" wrong, pronuoncing it right mostly gets weird looks despite the fact that they know it's the right way, but the strangest thing is, the common used pronounciation ("Hah-Lo") is not even how a mexican would traditionally read the word since "reading it the mexican way" should make the H silent, so it's reading it wrong in either language.

"SNES" instead of "S.N.E.S" or "Super Nintendo". Same for NES / N.E.S.

Wow you are mental.

No it isn't.

It marks a geminate consonant.

Huh. That goes against what I learned from a doctor of Japanese linguistics at a Japanese university, so I guess some disagree.
